Got a chance to watch this young man play against the Spurs last night. This kid is legitimately good. With him and Aldridge, the Blazers have a chance to build a very good team for several years. He's easily the best rookie this season, looks to have Rose-like skills and athleticism. Hope the Blazers can actually build on this and start challenging in the west. I actually like that team quite a bit.

He is smooth. He reminds me of Chauncy Billups (play style wise) but is way faster and more athletic than Billups ever was. He is a much better passer too. This kid is a star. He needs to play better with Aldridge, maybe develop some pick and roll.

Blazers are starting to remind me of the Seahawks. Young and lead by a rookie, but they are starting to come together as a team. They have a serious shot at the playoffs this year, just wish they could get 2-3 quality bench guys.

The bench will prevent them from doing anything significant in the postseason, assuming they make it. Still, a lot to like if you're a Blazers fan, although I will say that Aldridge appears to have regressed a bit this year. We'll see how it plays out.
